ee gratitude and esteem.” The letter is dated July 17th,

In the present Manuscript there are evidences that the mother of the 
young author would at times assist her in her literary attempts, for 
there are little corrections throughout in the mother’s hand, and some 
pages at the end, added by her, possibly from her daughter’s sug- 
gestions or perhaps, a transcription of her child’s rough draft.

Letters, Cards, etc., written to Chatto and Windus, or to 
Mr. Chatto personally, in relation to literary and publica- 
tion matters. 


Bound in one volume, 4to, green polished calf, gilt back, fillet borders, 
with lettering on back and front cover, by Sangorski and Sutcliffe. 
THIS IS A MOST INTERESTING COLLECTION OF LETTERS, in which he 
writes of “Puddnhead” and its publication date for America; of the 
Webster firm in the hands of the Assignee, Bainbridge Colby. He has 
been kept awake all night reading Besant’s “London,” and was unable 
to do any work the next day in consequence; He is sending copy for 
the ‘‘Californian’s Tale” in good clean print. 

Some maxims have been written and forwarded to Chatto and Windus, 
but he recalls No. 3, as the Archbishop of Canterbury’s uncle does not 
think it should be used. The objectionable maxim is present, but can- 
not be quoted. 

These letters and cards have been neatly tipped in the volume, to- 
gether with typed transcripts of the correspondence, and in a number 
of cases with envelopes, and enclosures referred to. There are also 
inserted 5 portraits of Mark Twain, and a photographic view of his 
house at Redding. The letters were written from various places, from 
August 28, [1894] to November 24, 1901.

VERY FINE COPY OF “VANITY FAIR” 
IN THE ORIGINAL PARTS 


331 THACKERAY (WILLIAM M.). Vanity Fair. A Novel 


Don 


without a Hero. With illustrations on steel and wood by the 
author. London, 1847-8 


In the original 20 parts in 19, 8vo, original yellow wrappers (backs a 
little worn), uncut. In a red crushed levant morocco solander case, 
with cloth inner protecting covers. 

FIRST EDITION IN THE ORIGINAL PARTS. 

In considering a copy of “Vanity Fair” in the original parts the dis- 
criminating collector desires certain information, namely: Are the 
wrappers correct? Are all the plates present? Are the important 
advertisements and notice slips present? What is the condition of the 
parts? 

These points we therefore take up in the above order, and append 
further information regarding this present copy. Premising this 
statement of condition with the source engaged for comparison, we 
mention the Bibliography by Messrs Van Duzer and Turnbull, where 
the collation is most complete, and is believed to be that of a perfect 
copy. 

The Wrappers agree in every particular with the Van Duzer colla- 
tion. 

All the plates are present (though some are a little foxed), and near- 
Vy all the tissues are intact. 

Absolutely all the advertisements and notice slips are present, except 
the four pages of advertisements in Part 10, dealing with the cheap 
edition of the Novels of Bulwer Lytton. 


Regarding the condition of the parts—the backs are somewhat worn, 
as is usual with all copies which have not been in the repairer’s hands. 
The covers are not torn, and on four of the parts (the first four) is 
the name of the original owner. 

There are but two variations between the present copy and the Van 
Duzer collation. The first is: The eight unnumbered pages of ad- 
vertisements in the back of Part 1, which in the present copy are on 
white paper (in the Van Duzer collation on light green paper), and 
in Part 16, where the conditions are reversed—in this copy they are 
on light green paper, and in the Van Duzer collation on white paper. 
THIS COPY MAY THEREFORE BE CONSIDERED A MOST DESIRABLE ONE TO 
POSSESS, RANKING WELL ABOVE THOSE USUALLY OCCURRING, BEING A 
PERFECT COPY, except for two leaves of advertising matter. 


Vanity Fair. Another copy. With illustrations on 
steel and wood by the author. London, 1847-8 


In the original 20 parts in 19, 8vo, wrappers (backs repaired), uncut. 
In a half red morocco solander case, with buckram protecting covers. 


First EDITION IN THE ORIGINAL PARTS. 


While the internal “points” in this copy are correct for the First 
Edition—rustic type; Marquis of Steyne portrait; “Mr.” Pitt, etc., 
the external points are not correct, as few of the wrappers are right, 
and not all the advertisements are present. It is, however, nice and 
clean as to text and plates.

DRAWING BY THACKERAY FOR “HAMLET” 


355 THACKERAY (WILLIAM MAKEPEACE). FIVE ORIGINAL 


PEN-AND-INK DRAWINGS, ONE COLORED, depicting soldiers, 
heads and figures, etc., and one apparently representing the 
Queen strewing flowers in Ophelia’s grave, “Sweets to the 


sweet: farewell!” The drawings are mounted on board, 


and, in size, 4 inches by 5 inches, 514 inches by 434 inches, 
9 inches by 514 inches, 714, inches by 834, inches, 9 inches by 
714 inches, respectively. 


FIVE VERY ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLES OF THE NOVELISTS DRAUGHTSMAN- 
SHIP, ONE OF WHICH, THE ILLUSTRATION TO HAMLET, MENTIONED ABOVE, 
IS WORKED UP MORE HTAN IS USUAL WITH THACKERAY’S SKETCHES. 


These drawings were formerly in the possession of William Williams, 
the editor of “The Snob” and “The Gownsman”, periodicals issued by 
the undergraduates at Cambridge, in which many of Thackeray’s 
efforts appeared. A friendship was formed between the youthful 
editor and his contributor, and they went together to Paris for some 
weeks during the long vacation of 1829. THE DRAWINGS DATE FROM 
THIS PERIOD. Accompanying the sketches is a copy of “Christ’s Cel- 
lege Magazine”, Michaelmas Term, 1913, containing an account of 
the friendship of Williams and Thackeray, by John P. Wright, nephew 
of Thackeray’s friend, and a visiting card with their Paris address 54 
Rue Neuve St. Augustin, inscribed “Here I lived with W. M. Thack- 
eray for some weeks in 1929. W. W.” The drawings have been 
mounted for about forty years, and have never before been out of the 
Williams family. 

AN UNUSUALLY DESIRABLE COLLECTION OF 'THACKERAY’S EARLY 
SKETCHES, WITH AN INTERESTING HISTORY. Sold for the account of 
Miss E. M. Williams, daughter of William Williams, and accompanied 
by two authenticating letters from her.

@ My wish is that my Drawings, my Prints, my Curiosities, 
my Books—in a word, these things of art which have been 
the joy of my life—shall not be consigned to the cold tomb 
of a museum, and subjected to the stupid glance of the care-

under the hammer of the Auctioneer, so that the pleasure 
which the acquiring of each one of them has given me shall be
